Bottle from Tommie, BB 09-07-2026, large sample. Slight hazy golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma is fruity, bit bitter lemon, spicy, can get the rosemary, funk, slight lactic, slight oak. Soft lactic and citric sourness, slight spicy, funky. Sparkling from spice and carbonation. Great balance.

75cl bottle between four of us at the 25th Oct 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Share: some ten years in front of it’s best before date. Poured a hazy light purple, no head. A strong hedgerow fruit aroma hits your nose. The taste was sour and featured tart blackcurrants, blackberries and raspberries in flavour. Am I warming to sour fruity beers? I almost enjoyed this one anyway.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 16. Pours a hazy pinkish purple, with a tart bramble fruit aroma. Taste is bright and sharp with prominent blackcurrant and blackberries. Just the right about of sour to compliment the tart fruit qualities. Another good ’un from Tommie!

Bottle from Tommie Sjef, handwritten label (before it had the name :-)), large sample. Slight hazy dark golden to amber color, medium frothy head. Aroma of funk, tartness, slight horseblanket, slight vanilla and oak wood. I wonder if I would have noticed the barrel if I hadnt known. Probably not, very delicate character. Smooth geuze like sourness and carbonation, mostly centered around citric acid and a bit lactic acid, which I prefer. Slight dry in the finish with a hint of caramel, vanilla and oak wood. Very well balanced again.
